What is the Committee for Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS)? Designed for professionals who are new to this nuanced national security sector or seeking a refresher, this introductory session will discuss the basic regulatory standard necessary for a CFIUS filing. Delegates will gain an understanding of the national security reasons for CFIUS filings, the scrutiny given to filings, as well as the timelines for processing a filing. Topics will include: 

• Under what circumstances does FIRRMA give CFIUS authority to:
  • Impose an interim mitigation agreement?
  • Require plans for monitoring compliance with mitigation agreements?
  • Determine that a current or older mitigation agreement is no longer warranted?
  • Allow for the use of third-party, independent parties to monitor agreements?
• Calculating timelines for submitting a mandatory declaration or notice
• Analyzing what can cause delays and how to avoid them
• Examining basic enforcement action for non-filing and penalties

A light lunch will be served to those attending both workshops
